#12-Marble Maker extraordinaire, Philip Arthur, it was worth the trip just to see him make a marble, very cool.

#14-One of Mr. Ice’s marble toys, these things are really cool, if you haven’t seen one in action you gotta check them out.
#15-Rick Rines. Rick sells marbles on e-bay under rinesmarbles. He brought me some marbles to the show that I had been looking for and hadn’t been able to find. A very nice fellow with a huge selection of Jackson, Davis, Heaton and Alley marbles. Thanks, Rick.
#16-No idea why I included this pic, other than it was me and the Nav’s favorite watering hole.
